Looking at Bill's picture of the Vox echo takes me back the the thrill of my first ( secondhand) Watkins Copicat.
To hear proper echoes just ( nearly) like Hank's.

Me too Eric. My first (also second hand) Copicat cost me the Princely sum of £30.00 which was three weeks wages then
Oh! happy days

Hi Bob,

If you want your Zoom RFX2000 demagnetised I'll do it (For an extortionate fee of course!!) :lol:

I remove the tape off my Meazzi and hold the drive wheel back with a rubber band when not in use!

Hi Amanda

No thanks, It'll be going up for sale shortly anyway as I've now got a Zoom G9.2TT and I can't find the heads on it anywhere so I won't need to demagnetise this one at all :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was always refering to tape echoes and only put the comment in about what I had in passing, I wish I'd never mentioned it now lol :?

Hi again Geoff,
Just to re-iterate on my ESE echomatic; there is no rubber at all on the top deck. I do know that Eric over the years continued to improve on the performance of the machine and did change certain aspects of it so obviously the early ones may different to to the one I have.

Hi Tony

Sorry ive not answered you earlier but my partner has just given birth to my second daughter.

What iv talking about is the wheel that drives the tape and runs from the spindle out of the motor, if you would like i can take a quick pic?

Hi Scott,
First massive congratulations thats great news for you, hope they are all doing well.
Actually it would be quite helpful because I see no rubber at all, the spindle protrudes up from below deck and looks as though its made of brass, quite substantial. Just below deck it's still metal...no rubber.
Thanks Tony
